Romeo And Juliet lyricsSongwriters: Knopfler, M;Love struck RomeoSings the streets a serenadeHe's layin' everybody lowHe's got a love song that he madeWell he finds a convenient street lightAnd he steps out of the shade and says something like"You and me babe how about it?"Juliet says, "Hey it's RomeoYou nearly gave me a heart attack yeah well"He's underneath my window now she's singin'"Hey la my boyfriend's backYou shouldn't come around hereSingin' up to people like thatOh anyway, what you gonna do about it?"Oh Juliet the dice were loaded from the startAnd I betAnd you exploded into my heartAnd I forget, I forget the movie songWhen you gonna realize?It was just that the time was wrongJulieWe both come up on different streetsAnd they were both streets of shameThey're both dirty both meanAnd yes even our dreams were the sameBut I dreamed your dream for youAnd now your dream is real so tell me honeyNow how can you look at me asIf I were just another one of your deals?Now you can fall for chains of silverAnd you can fall for chains of goldYou know you, you fall for pretty strangersAnd the promises since they holdWell you promised me everythingAnd then you, and then you promised me thick and thinAnd now you just turn away and say"Romeo I think I used to have a scene with him"Oh Juliet when we made love you used to cryYou said, "I love you like the stars aboveI'm gonna love you till I die"There's a place for us, I know you know this songNow when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?Julie I'm so in loveSo in love yeahBut I can't do the talkLike they talk on my TV screenI can't do a love songNot the way you sung it to meI can't do anythingBut I would do anything for you, oh noI can't do anythingExcept be in love with youYeah now all I do is miss youAnd the way it used to beAnd all, and all I do is keep the beatI keep bad, bad companyAnd all I do is kiss youThrough the bars of this rhymeWhen Julie I'd do the stars with youAnytimeOh Juliet when we made love you used to cryYou said, "I love you like the stars aboveI'm gonna love you till I die"There's a place for us, I know you know the movie songOne day you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrongJulie, Julie, JulieOh this love struck RomeoSings the streets a serenadeLayin' everybody lowHe's got a love song that he madeFinds a convenient street lightAnd he'll step out of the shade and he'll say something like"You and me babe how about it?"Fly Away lyricsFly away little birdAny place in this open mouthed worldBegs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't restEveryone's got a need to goMost of us stick with our row to hoeBut not you, you're the black crowWith a straight line, and no timeFor the birds of prey who wreck your nestTwice your size steal your bestThey set you on this course of your collisionI am a stop along your wayI am the words you'll never sayI crossed the great beyond of fearI opened my eyes and saw us there, what a viewYou went there tooFly away little birdFind the song in you that no one's heardStrengthen your wings as you sing your solo flightThrough this short lifeEveryone's got a deep regretWe try to ground ourselves to forgetBut your race to the end is neck and neckYou love them, you love them notThe birds of prey who wreck your nest,Twice your size steal your bestThey set you on this course of your collisionI am a stop along your wayI am the words you'll never sayI crossed the great beyond of fearOpened my eyes and saw us there, what a viewAnd you went there tooBut all along your chosen path areWindow panes and sheets of glassThat you won't seeYou fly too fastOne day it will be overFly away little birdThe saddest song I ever heardWas the one I wrote you in my heartThat never made it to the worldCloser To Fine lyricsI'm trying to tell you something about my lifeMaybe give me insight between black and whiteThe best thing you've ever done for meIs to help me take my life less seriously, it's only life after allWell darkness has a hunger that's insatiableAnd lightness has a call that's hard to hearI wrap my fear around me like a blanketI sailed my ship of safety till I sank it, I'm crawling on your shore. I went to the doctor, I went to the mountainsI looked to the children, I drank from the fountainThere's more than one answer to these questionspointing me in crooked lineThe less I seek my source for some definitiveThe closer I am to fine. I went to see the doctor of philosophyWith a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his kneeHe never did marry or see a B-grade movieHe graded my performance, he said he could see through meI spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paperAnd I was free. I went to the doctor, I went to the mountainsI looked to the children, I drank from the fountainThere's more than one answer to these questionspointing me in crooked lineThe less I seek my source for some definitiveThe closer I am to fine. I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friendI woke up with a headache like my head against a boardTwice as cloudy as I'd been the night beforeI went in seeking clarity. I went to the doctor, I went to the mountainsI looked to the children, I drank from the fountainThere's more than one answer to these questionspointing me in crooked lineThe less I seek my source for some definitiveThe closer I am to fine. I went to the doctor, I went to the mountainsI looked to the children, I drank from the fountainThere's more than one answer to these questionspointing me in crooked lineThe less I seek my source for some definitiveThe closer I am to fine. We go to the bible, we go through the workoutWe read up on revival and we stand up for the lookoutThere's more than one answer to these questionspointing me in a crooked lineThe less I seek my source for some definitiveThe closer I am to fineThe closer I am to fineThe closer I am to fineJoking lyricsYou said the world was magic I was wide-eyed and laughing we were dancing up to the bright side forget about your ego forget about your pride and you will never have to compromise and you were only joking and you were only joking but you were only jokingwe talked about our mothers kissed the wounds of our fathersi could've been your sister i would've been your brother you kissed me like i was a soldier heading for war i'm a dying man but i don't know what for and you were only joking and you were only joking but you were only jokingbrother gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet i bruised my heels on the swollen street we were girls in bars we were boys on the town bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd you said good friends are hard to come by i laughed and bought you a beer 'cause it's too corny to cry well sentiment given and sentiment lost you shook it off with a smirk and a toss and you were only joking and you were only joking but you were only jokingLove Will Come To You lyricsGuess i wasn't the best one to ask me myself with my face pressed up against love's glass to see the shiny toy i've been hoping for the one i never can afford the wide world spins and spits turmoil and the nations toil for peace but the paws of fear upon your chest only love can soothe that beast and my words are paper tigers no match for the predator of pain inside her i say love will come to you hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true as if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through where there's now one there will be two i was born under the sign of cancer like brushing cloth i smooth the wrinkles for an answer i close my eyes and wish you fine (i'm always closing my eyes wishing i'm fine) even though i know you're not this time (even though i'm not this time)i say love will come to you hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true as if i've offered up a crystal ball to look through where there's now one there will be two dodging your memories a field of knives always on the outside looking in on other's lives i say love will come to you hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true as if i've offered up a crystal ball to look through where there's now one there will be two and i wish her insight to battle love's blindness strength from the milk of human kindness a safe place for all the pieces that scattered learn to pretend there's more than love that mattersGone Again lyricsI think I'll bag that trip for twoAnd pack it up to Kakadu.Honey, it's not for the weatherOr the lack of loving you.I got all this in betweenSomething I could not foresee.All the deals I made don't matterIf I can't just let you be. Gone again gone againThere ain't no way I'm gonna let this heart mendGone again I walked in King's Cross for a while,Gave a junkie girl a smile.We both trade it in for dangerOr the company of strangers.She said all her familyWas at the welfare agency,Then she swindled my last twentyFor a kiss and some poetry. Gone again gone againThere ain't no way I'm gonna let this heart mendGone again If I don't make Kakadu,I'll be at the Rainbow Room.I'll be courting some disasterWith the Melbourne wrecking crew.Honey, all this is to sayThat every dog don't got its day,If we take the love we're givenAnd we throw it all away. Gone again gone againThere ain't no way I'm gonna let this heart mendGone againLeast Complicated lyricsI sit two stories above the street it's awful quiet here since love fell asleep there's life down below me though the kids are walking home from school some long ago when we were taught that for whatever kind of puzzle you got you just stick the right formula in a solution for every fool i remember the time when i came so close you sent me skipping my class and running from school and i bought you that ring cause i never was cool what makes me think i could start clean slated the hardest to learn was the least complicated I so i just sit up in the house and resist and not be seen until i cease to exist a kind of conscientious objection a kind of dodging the draft the boy and girl are holding hands on the street and i don't want to but i think you just wait it's more than just eye to eye learn the things i could never apply i remember the time when i came so close to you i let everything go it seemed the only truth and i bought you that ring it seemed the thing to do what makes me think i could start clean slated the hardest to learn was the least complicated what makes me think i could start clean slated the hardest to learn was the least complicated oh i'm just a mirror of a mirror of myself the things that i do the next time i fall i'm gonna have to recall it isn't love it's only something new i sit two stories above the street it's awful quiet here since love fell asleep there's life down below me though the kids are walking home from school i'm remembering the time when i came so close with you skipping my class and running from school and i bought you that ring cause i never was cool what makes me think i could start clean slated the hardest to learn was the least complicated what makes me think i could start clean slated the hardest to learn was the least complicated least complicatedPower Of Two lyricsSongwriters: Saliers, Emily Ann;Now the parking lot is emptyEveryone's gone someplaceI pick you up and in the trunk I've packedA cooler and a two day suitcase'Cause there's a place we like to driveWay out in the countryAnd five miles out of the city limit we're singin'And your hand's upon my legSo we're ok, we're fineBaby I'm here to stop your cryingChase all the ghosts from your headI'm stronger than the monster beneath your bedSmarter than the tricks played on your heartLook at them together then we'll take them apartAdding up the total of a love that's trueMultiply life by the power of twoYou know the things that I am afraid ofI'm not afraid to tellAnd if we ever leave a legacyIt's that we loved each other wellBecause I've seen the shadows of so many peopleStill trying on the treasures of youthBut a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crashAnd I'm glad we got off to tell you the truthSo we're ok, we're fineBaby I'm here to stop your cryingChase all the ghosts from your headI'm stronger than the monster beneath your bedSmarter than the tricks played on your heartLook at them together then we'll take them apartAdding up the total of a love that's trueMultiply life by the power of twoAll the shiny little trinkets of temptationSomething new instead of something oldAll you gotta do is scratch beneath the surfaceAnd it's fool's gold, fool's gold, fool's goldNow we're talking about a difficult thingYour eyes are getting wetI took us for better and I took us for worseAnd don't you ever forget itNow there's steel bars between me and a promiseSuddenly bend with easeThe closer I'm bound in love to youThe closer I am to freeSo we're ok, we're fineBaby I'm here to stop your cryingChase all the ghosts from your headI'm stronger than the monster beneath your bedSmarter than the tricks played on your heartLook at them together then we'll take them apartAdding up the total of a love that's trueMultiply life by the power of twoLet It Be Me lyricsSticks and stones, battle zones, a single light bulb on a single thread for the black sirens wail history fails rose-colored glass begins to age and crack while the politicians shadowbox the power ring in an endless split decision never solve anythingfrom a neighbor's distant land i heard the strain of the common man let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is night shine my life like a light well the world seems spent and the president has no good idea of who the masses are well i'm one of them and i'm among friends trying to see beyond the fences of our own backyard i've seen kingdoms blow like ashes in the winds of change but the power of truth is the fuel for the flame so the darker the ages get there's a stronger beacon yet let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is night shine my life like a light in the kind word you speak in the turn of the cheek when your vision stays clear in the face of your fear then you see turning off a light switch is their only power when we stand like spotlights in a mighty tower all for one and one for all then we sing the common call let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is night shine my life like a lightAll The Way lyricsI wasn't looking to shift my directionMy eyes straight ahead hands ten and twoThe gravity of our first connectionVeering off the road and into youAll the people drive by slowly gawking at the sceneOf the smoldering inevitable spark and gasolineAll the way I met you head on full speedAt the heart the blue flames burnsAll the way I took the crash course impactBut have I learned all that I'm supposed to learnNo amount of the playing safe could save me from this dayThe head seeking path of my trajectoryDidn't we cooly divest of predestinationSlamming into futures we can't seeI know what can happen when there's more than meets the eyeBut there's no way to avoid it just get in the car and driveAll the way I met you head on full speedAt the heart the blue flame burnsAll the way I took the crash course impactBut have I learned all that I'm supposed to learnIt makes me laugh talking over teaWhen I can still smell the smoke on my sleeveSteaming like gun smoke the wreckage of our pastThe scene of a crime I still can't leaveOh you and me, we should let well enough beBut each revisitation points to cluesThere's the oilslick of uncertaintyAnd warning signs back there we didn't useAt least we laugh about it now how we escaped aliveIt's remarkable the mess we make and what we can surviveMystery lyricsEach time you'd pull down the driveway i wasn't sure when i would see you again yours was a twisted blind-sided highway no matter which road you took then oh you set up your place in my thoughts moved in and made my thinking crowded now we're out in the back with the barking dogs my heart the red sun your heart the moon clouded i could go crazy on a night like tonight when summer's beginning to give up her fight and every thought's a possibility and voices are heard but nothing is seen why do you spend this time with me maybe an equal mystery so what is love then is it dictated or chosen does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years or is it just pop emotion and if it ever was here and it left does it mean it was never true and to exist it must elude is that why i think these things of you but i could go crazy on a night like tonight when summer's beginning to give up her fight and every thought's a possibility and voices are heard but nothing is seen why do you spend this time with me maybe an equal mystery ohbut you like the taste of danger it shines like sugar on your lips and you like to stand in the line of fire just to show you can shoot straight from your hip there must be a 1000 things you would die for i can hardly think of two but not everything is better spoken aloud not when i'm talking to you oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight breaks a bottle to christen her basking in the exploits of her thief she's a very good listener and maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle of impossibility standing at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery we're standing at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery
